What are you guys talking about? Our education system is fine. Really.

I just love getting the spoils after a victorious Wreckporter's first hunt. Here's what Lillian J. had to say:

"I thought that being a wreckhunter would be challenging, to say the least. There really couldn't be that many grocery store bakers that were as artistically challenged/borderline illiterate as your blog would suggest, right? After all, you have the agents fanning the entire country hunting down these elusive gems! I thought it would be months - nay, years! - until I saw one in real life. Still, I figured I'd give it a go. Imagine my giddy astonishment when I bagged this prime specimen on my very first wreckhunt!"

Thank you for all of those who pointed out the illusive/elusive error, but I'd just like to AKS you one question: Have any of YOU on the Grammar Patrol found a wreck as wonderful, as TOPICAL, and as brimming with chocolatey sincerity as this one Lillian J has bagged for our enjoyment?!

I FIGURED IT OUT PEOPLE!!!...These bakery people aren't stupid!!! They are actually very bright...This is how it works:

1. Create a cake too ugly or misspell the message.2. Deny any of the work done "I don't know who made that" (in case the boss asks)3. Wait for the customers to NOT BUY the monstrosity and boss asks which staff member wants to take unsold cake home for free.4. Laugh hysterically all the way home in the car how you wrangled yet another free cake for the family this weekend.

MYSTERY SOLVED!!

ps. as I write this...how ironic that the word verification is 'convic' Convict? Criminal or press charges on these cake free loaders? LOLOLOLOL

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
